I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do. Now I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn't otherwise be here.
It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing.
These problems do not disappear just because we do not hear about them. There is so much more happening around the world than what is communicated to us about the top stories we do hear. We all need to look deeper and discover for ourselves... What is the problem? Where is it? How can we help to solve it?
Family is what grounds you.
Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you've made a self-discovery, or something you've come to a conclusion about.
That which nourishes me also destroys me.
The phone rings every day. I say, 'No, of course it's not true, ' and hang up. We joke about it, because it's usually when Brad and I are running after the kids and changing diapers. The fact is, we don't do anything. We hardly ever leave the house.
After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn't looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know? I don't see him as an actor. I see him very much as a dad, as somebody who loves travel and architecture more than being in movies.
Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.
I want to take time to understand life. I want to travel. I want to be a better person, a better Mom. I want to do something good with my life.
